<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, I’m joined by entrepreneurs and the powerhouse duo behind Carter & Custer, Jim Carter and RT Custer. Jim and RT share how they overcame some of their biggest business challenges and what they have planned for the next iteration of Fast Foundations Mastermind. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RT explains how his watch company Vortic came out on top of a 6-year lawsuit against industry giant Hamilton. His passion and belief for upcycled watches kept him fighting when everyone around him, including his first attorney, advised him to give up and file for bankruptcy. Today, his case is an example of first use doctrine and the freedom to turn one man’s trash into another man’s treasure. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jim has always been a behind-the-scenes tech guy, but felt driven to use his expertise and transform the non-profit space.
